1. He recused himself from any current or future investigation of Russia's role in U.S. elections.
2. He also clearly stated that Justice Department protocols precluded him from even saying whether or not there is an ongoing investigation.
I put these two statements together and made the following determination:
There probably won't be an investigation of any substance at all, and the one guy who never has to explain why this is the case is Jeff Sessions.

I see differently.
1) he backed out of the ‘Russians messed with the election’, not anything else; this leaves him free to go after lowlife leakers of classified info, pizza pervs, etc.
2) no prosecutor is gonna say what he’s gonna do or not do, ahead of the perps being caught, charged, and no-bailed.
I meant for my last reply to go to both of you.
And I think that both of you are right; I’m not seeing those interpretations as mutually exclusive, actually.
